The step of obtaining the road guide is too crucial for Wei Bao, not only to deal with the 'tricky' leather goods in his hands, but also to open up the road to doing business in the customs!
Without the government's 'permission', it is impossible for large quantities of goods to leave Yongping Mansion and cross Shuntianfu to Tianjin Wei of Hejian Mansion, and the road from Yongping Mansion to Guannai is completely cut off by Shuntianfu, unless it is to go outside the Guan, bypass the entire Great Wall, and sell the goods to the northwest, which is meaningless.
In this era, it is impossible to smuggle a smuggler, and even if you can secretly succeed once, you are taking a great risk. Once the wind is revealed, there will be a disaster of death. The cost is so high that it's not worth the risk at all.
Bao didn't want to violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to develop slowly within the scope recognized by the national system, and be a 'Shunmin', which was the safest way, and he continued to move towards the goal that had been clear, silently accumulating travel expenses for his imperial examination. (The cost here does not refer to the cost of walking, but to the cost of opening up the promotion route of the imperial examination.) )
Wei Bao knows that if he wants to rely on money to get through his imperial examination, he needs a lot of money and strong connections, especially connections, without connections, there is nothing to do!
Anyway, it is impossible for him to study hard all day long, to learn those useless Four Books and Five Classics, and turn himself into a nerd under the poison of feudalism.
Moreover, the scholars of this era, whose IQ is not low, and those who are really deficient in intelligence are all brushed off in the enlightenment stage, and the children are at least high school graduates or above the language level. Wei Baoke did not have the confidence to ride the dust on the road of the imperial examination, and even felt that if he wanted to catch up with the level of a child like Liu Chunshi, he would have to study hard for at least seven or eight years.
Not to mention that Tongsheng is just an introduction to the imperial examination, if you want to climb up step by step from Tongsheng - Xiucai - Juren - Jinshi, with his qualifications, he may not be able to achieve the goal of Jinshi in his life, and even Xiucai and Juren in the examination may not be able to seek it for a lifetime.
This is like wanting to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in modern times, this is not a matter of hard study and hard work, it does not mean that if you can't pass the exam, you will be able to get into it one day, and if you can't pass the exam, you will be able to get into it one day.
Moreover, with Wei Bao's current understanding of the imperial examination, it is difficult to say whether a doctoral student who has studied ancient Chinese and ancient Chinese in modern times can come to the Ming Dynasty or not.
If Wei Bao is a little spiritual, he puts it on speculating on the minds of others, Wei Bao is obviously more interested in being a person and doing things than in books, and he likes to study all kinds of people. He will be interested in what others are thinking, how others are doing things and thinking about things.
Li Nan soon returned to Shanhai Tower, told Gongzi that he wanted to recruit Peng Mingbo, and told Fan Xiaolin that Gongzi instructed Peng Mingbo to dress up as a rich son, let Fan Xiaolin take Peng Mingbo to buy luxurious clothes, and then asked him to take Peng Mingbo to the teahouse where Gongzi is now waiting to meet.
Fan Xiaolin didn't know what Wei Bao was going to do, so she said strangely: "Do you want to take Peng Mingbo to buy clothes?" Let Peng Mingbo pretend to be a rich son? Then you don't need to buy clothes, it just so happens that Peng Mingbo is about the same height as Childe, just a little stronger, just wear Childe's clothes, I have two sets of Childe's spare clothes here. ”
Li Nan said: "The son ordered to take Peng Mingbo to buy clothes, anyway, my words have been brought, make it clear, what went wrong, you have to blame me." ”
"No one blames you, when Childe asked, he said that I said it. Childe must not have thought that he brought a change of clothes with him, and bought good clothes for Peng Mingbo and didn't have much chance to wear them, could he still wear brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes every day in the future? Fan Xiaolin smiled slightly, "Li Nan, you have just become the follower of the son, so you think so much." ”
Li Nan was embarrassed by what Fan Xiaolin said, his face flushed, and he scratched his head, he was several years older than Fan Xiaolin, and he was a native of the first class, if Fan Xiaolin had talked to him like this when he hadn't become Wei Bao's personal maid, he would definitely be angry, but now he didn't dare to say anything.
"Childe wants me to pretend to be a rich boy? Where am I like a rich boy? Peng Mingbo spread out his hands in wonder and said, "How to be a rich son?" I won't either. ”
"Childe can do whatever you want, Childe naturally has his reason." Wang Qiuya said: "Okay, let's go quickly after changing your clothes, after you go, Gongzi must still have orders, don't let Gongzi wait in a hurry." Li Nan, did Childe say that Xiaolin and I want to go over? ”
"That boy didn't give an order, he just said to bring Peng Mingbo over." Li Nan replied.
"Xiaobao didn't say anything, let's just wait here." Fan Xiaolin had already found a set of Wei Bao's gown from the baggage, and while answering Wang Qiuya's words, she handed the gown to Peng Mingbo: "Hurry up and change it to the past, Xiaobao's temper is anxious, don't delay the hour." ”
Peng Mingbo hurriedly took the robe handed over by Fan Xiaolin, and promised to go to the inner room to change clothes, not daring to be verbose, for him, Gao Du and Li Nan, to be able to become the attendants of the son, this is a good thing for the gold ingots to fall from the sky, and cherish this hard-won opportunity more than cherishing life.
When Peng Mingbo came out of the inside wearing Wei Bao's coat, everyone couldn't help laughing, although Peng Mingbo was about the same height as Wei Bao, but Peng Mingbo was the same as Fan's big head, a poor man with a fat body, and it seemed that drinking water could make his stomach bigger, but that is, his stomach was a little ill-fitting here, and there was nothing wrong with the others.
"It's quite decent, although the clothes inside are a little simpler, but the clothes and shoes are newly bought, no matter how you look at it, they won't be worse than what Zheng Zhongfei usually wears, at least he looks like a son-in-law from a long family." Fan Xiaolin said with a smile: "If Xiaobao thinks it's not good, you can come back quickly, and it's not too late for me to take Peng Mingbo to buy new clothes." ”
Wang Qiuya also nodded and said, "It's like a rich son, let's go see Xiaobao first, right?" ”
"Well, let's go." Li Nan roared hurriedly, "Just do what Xiaolin said." ”
Peng Mingbo hurriedly followed Li Nan because he was in a hurry. Li Nan came by a carriage, and it was fast to have a carriage, and after a while, he rushed to the teahouse opposite Yihong Courtyard and met Wei Bao.
Li Nan explained that Fan Xiaolin insisted on letting Peng Mingbo wear Gongzi's clothes instead of buying new clothes.
Wei Bao looked at Peng Mingbo, shook his hand and said, "I'll do it, I forgot that I had clothes with me just now, and it costs money to buy it again, so it's already very much like the son of a rich family." ”
Li Nan and Peng Mingbo were relieved when they heard Wei Bao say this, they had just come to Gongzi's side as a follower, and they were worried about everything, they had not had much contact with Wei Bao before, except for Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi and Fan Datou, as well as Fan Xiaolin and a few other people who had a lot of contact with Wei Bao in ordinary times, in fact, Wei Bao has always been very mysterious in this armor.
As he spoke, Wei Bao whispered his plan to Peng Mingbo, Li Nan and Gao Du, and the three of them were all confused, because Wei Bao only said how to let Peng Mingbo do it, but did not explain why he did it.
"Just do what I tell you to act, why you do this, you don't need to know, and what I ask you to do, remember, you are never allowed to reveal half a word!" Wei Bao instructed.
The three of them hurriedly said yes together.
"Well, let's do it!" Wei Bao waved his hand slightly nervously, as the chief director, he had to worry that if the play was smashed this time, the matter related to the road guide would be in trouble again! You can't act like this kind of play in front of Yang Hongyi one after another, right? Perhaps the best chance is only this one.
The three of them didn't know what the action meant, but they could guess it, and hurriedly said yes.
In Wei Bao's plan, let Gao Du temporarily act as Peng Mingbo's entourage, because Gao Du and Peng Mingbo had not yet entered Yihong Courtyard, and no one else had seen the two of them.
Peng Mingbo and Gao Du were just about to leave the box of the teahouse, when Wei Bao suddenly shouted again, "Wait a minute!" ”
Peng Mingbo and Gao were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped, not knowing what else Gongzi had to say.
"I almost forgot one of the most important things!" Wei Bao stood up, looking scared, "Fortunately, I think about it now, otherwise something will go wrong later!" Peng Mingbo still has no daughter-in-law's offspring, it is when the yang energy is strong, how can he not do it? I'll take you to a Qinglou to do it now, just so you can rehearse it in advance, feel the posture of being a son-in-law, and wait for you to do it a little harder, do it three or four more times, and when you get to Yihong Courtyard, you won't be able to lift it! And then, as I said, you lose your temper with the girls, and then I'll come out and sell the elixir. ”
Wei Bao said and spoke, he felt funny, and couldn't help laughing.
Gao Du and Li Nan originally felt funny, but when they saw Gongzi laughing at this time, they couldn't help laughing together, only Peng Mingbo's face was flushed, extremely embarrassing, and he wanted him to pretend to be a rich son, and he wanted him to pretend that he couldn't lift it when he went to Yihong Courtyard to play with the girl, Peng Mingbo still didn't understand what Gongzi was going to do, just to sell a medicine that could make a man lift? Thinking of what he was about to do with a woman, he was even more nervous and his chest was drumming, and his mouth was dry, he hadn't touched a woman yet.
"Aren't you happy to have a girl enjoying you?" Wei Bao saw Peng Mingbo's embarrassed face, and smiled: "Remember, I won't let it go four times, and I won't end it!" People in their twenties, it is when the yang energy is vigorous, don't let it go four times, I'm afraid that you will wait until you arrive at Yihong Courtyard, and it will recover all of a sudden! ”
The number of four times is the number estimated by Wei Bao with the maximum ability of a normal person, no matter how strong you are, you have put it four times in a short period of time, I don't believe you can still be fierce?
"Childe, can you change them? Am I scared? I don't pretend to be a rich man, and I don't live like a girl. Peng Mingbo pleaded with a bitter face.
"That's you! Today's matter is very important, if it goes wrong, the three of you will go back to work in Jiali together, and find a few other people to be my followers! Wei Bao scared Peng Mingbo with a cold face, "If you do it well, I will give you a credit!" Whoever has more credit in the future will have a higher level! ”
Peng Mingbo was frightened and coaxed by Wei Bao, so that he didn't dare to raise any more objections, Li Nan and Gao both heard that if Peng Mingbo messed up, they would have to be returned together, no longer being the followers of the son, so they were so frightened that they helped to admonish Peng Mingbo, and at the same time, because if Peng Mingbo made meritorious service this time, he could get a higher level, and he was envious, although he didn't know what the level meant, but he could probably guess that he would be more angry than them in the future.
"Okay, go ahead, Gao Du, you will accompany Peng Mingbo now, remember, don't put it on the girl four times, don't come back, a little faster." Wei Bao smiled and took out three taels of silver and handed it to Peng Mingbo and said, "Li Nan will wait here with me." ”
Peng Mingbo took the silver money handed over by Gongzi, and Gao agreed to go, just now he was going to go directly to Yihong Courtyard, this time according to Gongzi's new instructions, he had to find a green building first, and he had to put it on the girl four times!?
Wei Bao drank tea, and asked Li Nan to go out and buy a few cakes and come back, and at noon he planned to just fool around like this, who knew that when Wei Bao ate a simple lunch, Peng Mingbo had not come back yet.
"This Peng Mingbo is powerful enough? Can you play for so long? Wei Bao was a little anxious, he felt that it had been more than half an hour, you must know that a man like Peng Mingbo, who is twenty years old and has not yet married a daughter-in-law, is not experienced, and the women in the Qinglou are very skilled, so he can't hold it for so long. He originally estimated that Peng Mingbo must be once every three or five minutes, once every three or five minutes, more than half an hour, and five times is enough.
Li Nan heard Wei Bao say that the matter was very bland, and he blushed a little, and said with a smile: "They should be the green building on the opposite street, Childe, do you want me to take a look?" ”
Wei Bao smiled: "Go and see what's going on?" Hurry up and pay back. ”
"Yes, Childe." Li Nan bowed and hurried away.
Three or five minutes later, Li Nan rushed back, panting and said, "Peng Mingbo, Peng Mingbo ......"
Wei Bao sweated and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Nan, "Say it slowly!" Gasp for breath and pant again! ”
Li Nan didn't dare to drink the tea poured by Gongzi himself, and swallowed his saliva, "Peng Mingbo He put it three times in a row, and the fourth time he couldn't lift it, but Gongzi had to let him put it four times before he could come back, so he was still tossing there." ”
Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, why is he so rigid? I ordered Peng Mingbo to put it on the girl in the Qinglou four times, didn't it just make Peng Mingbo unable to lift it up when he arrived at Yihong Courtyard? You can't lift it now, you've already achieved the effect, why do you have to keep putting it four times?
However, this also made Wei Bao secretly sigh that the physique of the ancients was really poor, such as Peng Mingbo, a man who had not married a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty, did not even have the strength to release it four times? "You tell him to hurry up and go to Yihong Courtyard with Gaodu! It's really rigid, let it be put four times, and you don't really need to call it real? Isn't it just so that he can't lift it up after he arrives at Yihong Courtyard? ”
"Yes, Childe." Li Nan agreed, and hurriedly ran out again to convey Childe's 'latest instructions'.
This kind of thing makes Wei Bao very speechless, and he feels that it is still very difficult to communicate with the people of this era, especially to his subordinates, who say it too clearly, they will turn their horns, and they don't know what to do.
After a while, Wei Bao saw from the window of the teahouse box that Peng Mingbo and Gao Du had entered Yihong Courtyard, and Li Nan had returned to the teahouse.
"Childe, they're in." Li Nan reminded Gongzi softly.
"Well, I saw it, we'll go in later." Wei Bao said calmly, "Don't let people notice that we are all the way with them. ”
At this time, men drink flowers and wine to play with women, and there is no specific time for the bag, unlike modern times, which are always a clock and two clocks, but simply divided into overnight and overnight.
The price of an overnight stay is double that of an overnight stay, and it ends before the hour, and it is not considered an overnight stay, and that's it.
Therefore, the business of the Qinglou during the day is better than at night, because you can play a little longer during the day.
Only when you go to find a popular girl like Miss Rui who is wrapped in a green building, you need to be in a hurry secretly, otherwise there is plenty of time.
Wei Bao drank another cup of tea, feeling that it was more than ten minutes before Peng Mingbo and Gao Du went in, so he took Li Nan to Yihong Courtyard.
